Retro Vacay - Summer Holiday Sentiment Stamp Set

Stamping uses ink and reusable stamps to add images, patterns and sentiments to paper or card. Start with a clear stamp, a Rock-a-Block or stamping platform, an inkpad and smooth stamping card.

Clear stamps are see-through, making it easy to position your design. Photopolymer stamps are our highest quality stamp, meaning they’ll create the most detailed, crisp stamp result. Rubber stamps are opaque and durable, with all types suitable for creating detailed images and greetings.

For clear, photopolymer or cling stamps, you’ll need a Rock-a-Block, acrylic block or stamping platform to hold the stamp. A platform helps you position designs accurately and apply even pressure.

Choose a quick-drying dye ink for everyday stamping. When colouring your stamped images, use alcohol-proof ink with alcohol markers or waterproof ink with watercolours to keep your outlines smudge-free.

Gently tap your inkpad over the stamp for an even coating, then stamp with steady pressure and lift away without sliding. Allow the ink to dry before handling your design.
